When Chef Tee Cozy lines up for the Chicago Marathon on Oct. 12, 2025, it’ll be the 11th time the head chef from Cozy Noodles n’ Rice, a Thai restaurant in Wrigleyville, Ill., has run the race. If there’s one thing apparent in the opening scenes of this new short film — the debut in the new PACE SETTERS series by iRunFar in partnership with HOKA — it’s that Chef Tee, who moved to Chicago from Thailand in 1996, loves his city. He also loves running. And he brings that same sense of love to all he does. [Editor’s Note: If you are unable to see the…
The gun control lobby spends almost as much time and energy trying to convince the public that they’re just interested in “reasonable, common sense” measures as it does trying to restrict our right to keep and bear arms. So I wasn’t exactly shocked to see Brady head Kris Brown declare this past week that “Brady is not opposed to the idea of restoring gun rights in principle,” but I was curious to see the fine print attached to that statement. Brown’s comment came in a Substack post devoted to the DOJ’s proposed rule on re-establishing…
This article was originally published by John W. Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead at The Rutherford Institute. “When they came in the middle of the night, they terrorized the families that were living there. There were children who were without clothing, they were zip tied, taken outside at 3 o’clock in the morning. A senior resident, an American citizen with no warrants, was taken outside and handcuffed for three hours. Doors were blown off their hinges, walls were broken through, immigration agents coming from Black Hawk helicopters … This is America.”—Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson When the government can label anyone or anything an enemy in order…
We arrived at camp after dark, blissfully exhausted from a long day exploring the magical red rock of Sedona. Our only task was to set up camp and get to bed so we could do it all over again tomorrow. After shuffling our gear around, we unrolled our LUNO AIR Pro Vehicle Mattress and started the 12V air pump. Only a few minutes later, we were ready to lay down our weary bodies. I slept so comfortably that night, I truly couldn’t believe it was an air mattress — or that I was sleeping in the back of a car.…
Savage Arms has been in the gun business for a long time. Founded by Arthur Savage in 1894, the company has had a long and illustrious history. Many shooters only think of them as building rifles… their Model 99 lever gun is a classic… but they also build handguns and shotguns. Actually, I’ve got their micro-9mm pistol, the Stance XR, on my table now. It’s in line for review. I like it, but stay tuned for that write-up later. A lesser-known fact is that the company’s entry into our military sidearm trials in 1910-1911 was the only other gun left to…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadOctober’s rolling in with cooler air, falling leaves, and a wake-up call to do some fall weather prepping. In Mississippi, Fall Severe Weather Preparedness Week (October 6-11, 2025) is pushing families to prep for tornadoes, floods, and early frosts—threats that hit hard in Tornado Alley. Other states like Arkansas, Oklahoma, and South Carolina are joining in with similar campaigns, including South Carolina’s Earthquake Preparedness Week (October 12-18), which ties perfectly into a broader fall preparedness push. This isn’t about fear or hype—it’s about practical, low-cost steps to keep your household safe, whether you’re dodging…
We all grow older. There is nothing we can do about that, but the quality of those years is within our control, as recent research has shown.After receiving a doctor’s approval to begin any exercise program, aging adults who have not been physically active for decades should start their fitness journey with the basics, such as walking and stretching. Once a solid foundation is built, though, a regular, higher-intensity exercise program can lead to remarkable improvements in heart health, according to one study.That study covered a two-year, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program and its effects on sedentary individuals 50 to…
A retired Army officer who worked as a civilian for the Air Force is heading to prison after he conspired to share classified information on a foreign online dating platform.According to the Associated Press, David Slater has been sentenced to nearly six years in prison in U.S. District Court in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Wednesday.He was arrested in March 2024 and pleaded guilty in July.According to court documents, Slater, after retiring as a lieutenant colonel from the U.S. Army, worked in a classified space at U.S. Strategic Command at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska and held a top-secret security clearance…
By Brad Fitzpatrick Smith & Wesson has been busy. A few years ago, the company moved to their new facility in Maryville, Tennessee. Just two weeks ago the Smith & Wesson Academy, a state-of-the-art training facility on the company’s property in Maryville, opened its doors. While all this has happening, Smith & Wesson has also managed to roll out some class-leading new firearms like the Bodyguard 2.0, the 1854 family of lever-actions, the M&P Shield X, and the new Axe family of M&P 15 ARs.Smith & Wesson has long been a leader in the crowded AR market because…
The ComTac line from 3M PELTOR has long been trusted by military, law enforcement, and serious shooters, and the ComTac VIII takes things a step further. This headset combines advanced hearing protection with enhanced situational awareness, communication capabilities, and rugged field durability. After running these for months across a wide range of environments, I’ve formed a pretty solid picture of what they do well, where they can improve, and how they stack up in the field. Hearing Protection and Environmental Listening The ComTac VIII provides a noise reduction rating of 23 dB. This might not sound like much compared to…
By Guns & Ammo Staff While the single-action revolver may not have been “the gun that won the West,” it was certainly on the belts of those who were winning it. The Single Action Army (SAA) has since become a handgun with a devoted following, and the Taurus Deputy is fully up to the task of satisfying that desire. In the Deputy, Taurus both reached back into history and brought the SAA into the 21st century.The Deputy can be had in your choice of two barrel lengths and in two calibers, but only one finish: Black. Guns &…
Can the 6.5 Creedmoor ever be dethroned? Amazing ballistics, minimal recoil, inherently accurate, a large variety of bullet types and weights, tons of brass… What more can you ask for? I love my 6.5 Creedmoors. I’ve used 16.5in, 20in, and 26in steel and carbon barrels in 6.5 Creedmoor for various actions. I also have Proof Carbon prefit 6.5 Creedmoor barrels that shoot awesome right out of the box. I’ve become so familiar with the caliber that I hardly do load development now. I drop 41 grains of H4350 in a case, seat a Berger 144 hybrid or a Hornady 147…
The Archon Type B Gen 2 is a compact 9mm that stands out for one reason above all. It minimizes muzzle rise. That makes it fast to shoot and easy to keep on target. Archon did not copy existing designs. They rethought the locking and recoil systems to lower the bore axis and smooth the cycle. The result is a pistol that runs hard and recoils flat. Quick Verdict If you want a compact 9mm that shoots flatter than most pistols out of the box, try the Archon Type B Gen 2. It is not perfect. The trigger needs reps…
The lever-action rifle has seen a resurgence in recent years. Classics have been re-envisioned with tactical furniture, threaded barrels, and red dot optics. With few exceptions, they have remained the same in their core design. Enter the Lever Action Supreme Rifle from Henry Repeating Arms. Drawing from over twenty-five years of manufacturing their extensive line of lever-action rifles, Henry’s engineers put in the time to create what may be one of the most advanced lever-action designs to come to the market. First Impressions Weighing just over 6.5 pounds and 38” long, the Supreme Rifle is well balanced. The 18” barrel…

Most of us assume that if something goes wrong, like a car accident, a broken bone, or a heart attack, we can just call 911, be rushed to an emergency room, and get medical care. But that assumption is becoming more dangerous by the day.Today, most hospitals are operating at or near capacity. Emergency rooms are often overwhelmed. Wait times are hours long. Patients are lined up in hallways or turned away altogether. Nurses and doctors are overworked and understaffed. And this…
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has increased its reliance on artificial intelligence to enhance services for veterans, including the anticipation of crisis situations and streamlining operations.Although the use of AI is not a new concept at the VA, lawmakers and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) have raised concerns over privacy and proper staffing to match the increasing reliance on AI.”Veterans deserve proven, safe care–not services driven by experimental AI tools that are deployed without oversight,” said Sydney Saubestre, senior policy analyst at New America’s Open Technology Institute, in response to heightened AI use at the VA.Between 2023 and 2024,…
If concealed carry gear ever needed a boost of real-world street cred, the new A912 and A912 L holsters from FALCO Holsters in Slovakia, and the 3 of 7 Project deliver it in spades. Launched in late September 2025, these Kydex inside-the-waistband (IWB) holsters are born from the collaborative efforts of FALCO, known for handcrafted precision holsters (and also being from one of the few countries in Europe where it is legal to carry concealed as a civilian), and the 3 of 7 Project—a group with roots in Navy SEAL and SWAT missions here in the USA. The result? Holsters…
The Supreme Court’s decision to grant cert in Wolford v. Lopez is good news for gun owners, and will hopefully result in the “vampire rule” adopted by five blue states in the wake of the Bruen decision being struck down as unconstitutional. The law in question prohibits lawful concealed carry on all private property unless the property owner explicitly posts signage allowing the practice; a statute that not only runs counter to the laws in the vast majority of states, but is lacking in any sort of historical tradition of gun ownership. Most states have the opposite…
When Rights Meet Red Tape Imagine applying for something as fundamental as a concealed carry permit and discovering you’ll get your interview… in the year your grandkids graduate high school. Welcome to Los Angeles County, where the Second Amendment has to take a number and sit in the waiting room. Now, the Department of Justice (yes, the federal government) has decided to sue the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) for allegedly dragging its feet on permit applications. This is the DOJ’s first-ever affirmative lawsuit on behalf of gun owners. Yes, the same DOJ that gun owners usually see as an antagonist…
Swedish climate activist and captured humanitarian, currently in custody in Israel, Greta Thunberg, was subjected to humiliation and harsh treatment in an Israeli prison, according to fellow activists and lawyers. Thunberg was arrested aboard the Gaza aid flotilla, which was stopped by Israel. Thunberg is among 437 activists, parliamentarians, and lawyers who were part of the Global Sumud flotilla, a coalition of more than 40 vessels carrying humanitarian aid whose goal was to breach Israel’s 16-year maritime blockade of Gaza. The mission was unsuccessful, and the flotilla was seized by the Israeli military. Italian journalist Lorenzo D’Agostino told Anadolu that…
Over and over again, anti-gunners claim that gun control is popular. They cite polls from years ago, often right after some particularly terrible massacre, and then run with it until there’s another poll that supports their point of view. The fact that many of these polls are also intended to produce an anti-gun response gets left out of way too many citations, too. But right now, a lot is going on, and the push for gun control is still going on, even if it’s a lot more vague in the wake of the assassination of…
